The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Royal Castle
It took less than ten minutes for them to get to their location, there standing elegantly tall in the middle of night with an outstanding glitter that made it the center of attraction was the Royal Castle Hotel. It was the best hotel in the whole of Granada Hills, and only people of high profile like politicians and celebrities could be able to afford the luxury of the hotel. The car parked at the parking space of the hotel and as he looked at the tall structure before him, Jason marveled at the alluring sight of the hotel. It was built like a modern castle, the roofing was mounted on the building like a pinnacle, and the building itself seemed to be carved by the finest of artists. The ambience of the hotel was exquisite, sending sparkles of proficiency and wonder to anyone who dared to even take a peep at it. The gardens surrounding the hotel had all sorts of light around them and the statues also were outstanding, giving the euphoria of both and new architecture. Jason was
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Bet
“What? That’s more than twice my salary!” The guard standing close was shocked at the amount the Male Receptionist mentioned, he left his mouth wide open and turned towards Jason, expecting him to have an expected reaction. “Yeah! So you see exactly why I asked him if he was thought this place was an amusement park or the street. He clearly doesn’t know where he is.” Mira said allowed rolling her eyes at Jason. “I will take it.” Jason said without blinking, his countenance was laced with an intense confidence that shocked everyone around. “Sir, I am not sure you understand, I said that the room costs two hundred thousand dollars per night and we wouldn’t even be able to offer it to you if you are not a VVIP in this place. If you don’t mind, I could recommend a cheaper room for you.” “Francis, don’t even bother, I am sure he wouldn’t even be able to afford to pay ten thousand dollars for the most affordable room we have here. Can’t you see the way he looks, like a beggar.” Mir
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. The Black Card
Mira was angry that the poor fellow was trying to turn the whole thing into a show but who didn’t want to see him humiliated? She figured that he was biting more than he could chew and definitely wanted to make sure he was dealt with. “If you do not pay for the room as you have said, you will work for me as my cleaner at home for free for a month.” “And if I do?” Jason asked with full confidence. “That’s not even possible, I am sure of that.” Mira scoffed and looked at Jason again. The feeling of confidence crept into her and she was also sure to deal with him for being such a stubborn fellow. “What if I do? What becomes of you?” “I see you still find this funny, if you do then I would come work for you as your cleaner for a month.” “Mira!” Francis said aloud trying to call his colleague to order. Something inside of him told him that there could be more to the man’s shabby appearance and he believed his instincts. “Don’t worry, I am certain that by the time all these is
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Declined
The Assistant manger turned towards Jason and observed him carefully from his hair down to his rickety sandals. He scoffed and frowned for a few seconds, then he smiled along to the thoughts that ran through his mind. “This would be a perfect opportunity to get myself into the good book of the Walkers. Who knows, I could be considered for the position of the next Manager by the time Mr. Garry retires.” He thought to himself with a one sided smile. Again he looked at Jason without saying a word for a few seconds. His eyes got stuck when they gazed upon the black card that was resting casually in Jason’s hand. He had never seen one before, only heard about it, and just like everyone else he didn’t think that Jason was going to be able to be the rightful owner of the black card. “Young man who are you?” Leonard asked with an imperative tune as soon as the laughter disappeared from his face. “Does that really matter? Do I have to be interrogated before I can be given a room in thi
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Dominance!
“I knew it! You owe me your salary for this week.” Norah said victoriously with a smile on her face. She was not only happy that she had won her bet, she was also happy that the shabby looking fellow who came to disturb the peace of the hotel would be dealt with accordingly. The silence which lasted for almost a minute was overshadowed by the voices of the observes who mumbled inaudible words. Some laughed and jeered at Jason, which some others cured at him for being a thief and trying to use another person’s debit card claiming that it was his. “Oh the delight I would have from battering you out of this place.” Said the guard as he made a move to raise his baton against Jason but Leonard raised his hand to signal him to a stop. “Before you do that, I would have to take the precious card from him before it is ruined in the process.” Leotard said with a smile showing that his plans were falling in place. “I told you this fool was a fraud didn’t I?” The words spoken by Mira rea
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Payback
The man seemed really afraid of the shabby looking man in front of him as he continued to plead without raising his face. This went cold shivers into the nerves of all those who had made bets with him. “That’s Me Garry! The Manager of this Hotel. Is he really on the floor or are my eyes deceiving me?” Said an onlooker from a distance. The old lady who has made her move to leave the scene out of annoyance was frozen and this effect was not only for her, it was distributed to everyone in the room, the stillness, the rising tension and the pounding heartbeats amidst open mouths were truly remarkable. “Who could that be? That young man definitely is someone of high dignity for Mr Garry to prostrate before him.” “More like a god! Norah.” Hilda said to Norah as they watched with their mouth agape. The stillness didn’t stop Leonard’s heart from pounding against his chest, he took three steps backward as though he was preparing to take off gulping in saliva. No matter how he tried t

The lady remained silent for a while unable to say her name. The fear on her face was glaring as her hands continued to shake. “Didn’t you hear him? Speak up now or have your body whipped!” Gary said angrily raising his right hand as though he was about to hit her. “Hilda! Hilda, my name is Hilda!” She said with a panic holding on to her chest and bending her head with her eyes closed from the moment she saw the huge hand rise above her. She gradually opened them when she waited for a few seconds and no hand touched her. At that point, she had already let out a shrilling cry. “Hilda? That’s a nice name.” Jason said with a smile, then he turned towards the dog who has been quiet for a while. “You have a cute dog Hilda.” “Thank you sir. His name is Milo.” She said unable to raise her face to look at the man who had a strangely calm attitude that was accompanied with a constant smile that refused to leave his face. “We had a deal Hilda and I love to obey every rule I come ac
The Rising Phoenix: Devisee’s escapade. Succesful
Mira’s heart sank deeper and deeper into her stomach, even from afar it was visible that her hand was shaking as she tried to catch her breath. “Si…Sir.” She couldn’t find the words she wanted to speak. Francis gave her a stare that read ‘I warned you!’ as he took interval glances at her. Mira looked for solace but she found none. “Come on, don’t be scared. I don’t bite.” Jason said calmly with a smile, but this only made matters worse for Mira who definitely knew that the man was going to ‘bite’ in one way or the other especially after what she had seen him do. “Mira dear, I would really want us to check the card again. Who knows, it may have been a case of network glitch.” Jason said with a smirk taking two steps forward towards Mira. “But Sir…Bu…” Mira stammered amidst the tension that had already taken over her entire existence. She looked around, but no one seemed to care about her situation, they only looked because they wanted to see what was going to become of her by th

The Viral News
The Butler remained silent for over ten seconds, but the stillness made Jason’s anxiety linger while he approached him with a curious expression on his face. “Harry? Is my Grandfather okay? Where is Henry?”“Lord Walker is fine. Nothing has happened to Ed to your son.” “Okay? So why the long face? What’s going on?” Jason was relieved that his greatest fear was not the reason for the Butler’s worrisome look, but he still needed to know what was happening. “We might have a little problem, Young Master.” “Problem? Talk to me, Harry! You are not saying anything!” Jason became a little bit impatient, and while he waited for a response, he went through his mind at once, thinking if anything that may have been the reason for yeh words from the middle-aged man. “Your parents, Young Master. They are on the news.” Harry said calmly, but his words made Jason confused while he looked at him with a bemused expression. “What the hell are you talking about, Harry? My parents are dead, y

Desperate Plea
The words from Jason hit Julius like a thunderbolt, and he was forced to keep quiet even though he never intended to. For a few seconds the middle-aged man remained calm, eyes on Jason who was waiting to be certain that he wasn’t going to say any other thing. “Good…” Jason sighed softly, and then he cleared his throat before he continued with a smirk on his face. “Now that I have your attention, I think it would be nice for us to get straight to the reason why I am here.” He paused for a few seconds just to be sure that Julius was paying attention, and continued when he was satisfied with the look on his face. “It’s very obvious that you deserve to be locked up forever, and the key thrown into the ocean, but unfortunately, you are still family. Now, I wonder what I am going to do with you, Julius. Trust me, I want to grab your neck with both hands and strangle you, but Grandpa…” Jason paused suddenly, and a heavy sigh left him. “Did the old man send you? Is he unable to hand

Confinement
There were guards standing in front of the gigantic metal gate, heavily armed and ready to shoot any intruder at sight. Their eyes were everywhere, on the lookout as they stood at various corners in front of the gate. The sight of Jason’s car approaching made them readjust immediately, but they were eased as soon as they recognized him from afar as he wheeled slowly, and stopped right in front of the gate. “Young Master.” One of the guards who came forward bowed gently while Jason nodded in response. “Let me in.” “At once!” The guard turned instantly, and signaled to his partner who grabbed a walkie-talkie with which he communicated with someone from the inside of the vicinity of the building. The gates opened automatically as soon as the button to unlock it was pressed, and Jason drove in at once, looking around through the windows beside him. It was his first time in the military training camp, and even though he asked Harry to give him the address to the place, he never

Special Invite
Standing in front of his room the next morning, Jason waited patiently, glad in a grey suit while he looked around the hallway as though he was expecting to see someone. His eyes eventually stopped at his Grandfather’s door while so many thoughts of contemplation ran through his mind. “I don’t think he will be happy if he finds out that I want to go there without him.” He whispered only to his hearing, and then he sighed softly before he was distracted by the sound of footsteps approaching from a distance in front of him. The Butler appeared after a few seconds and Jason cleared his throat while he signaled to him to walk toward him the moment he noticed he was walking toward Lord Walker’s room. “Good morning, Young Master. I didn’t realize that you were standing there.” Harry said as soon as he stopped in front of Jason who sighed at once. “Morning, Harry. How are the girls?”“They are fine, Young Master. Rose refused to leave her sister’s side, she’s been there since yest

No more Rival
Lord Walker silently looked at Jason for almost a minute, a pleasant smile plastered app over his face. He leaned forward, and cleared his throat while Jason adjusted himself at once, thinking he was ready to break the silence, but he was wrong. “Okay, Grandpa. You have been staring at me since I sat down. Don’t you have plans to say anything?” Jason broke the silence the moment he felt it had lingered for so long, and the old man chuckled before giving him a response. “I never thought I would be so lucky, Jack. I am so lucky to have you as my Grandson. Your parents would be so proud of you wherever they are. You have single-handedly destroyed all the enemies of this family, and there is no rival left.” Lord Walker clapped his hands gently without taking his eyes away from Jason who shook his head at once, but was unable to get rid of the smile on his face. “I didn’t do it alone, Grandpa. Harry was there to help…” “Of course! But you are the brain behind everything, Jack. Yo

The Man of the Moment
Jason watched the two sisters as they wrapped their arms around each other, glad to have reunited after such a long time. A bright smile appeared on his face, and he began to wish that he had a sibling. The other girls who were awake and close to Nadia’s bed continued watching with keen interest, and at that moment, they were more assured that they were in safe hands since Jason had brought Rose to see her sister, and the doubt they had about their safety began to vanish instantly. Rose whispered some words into her sister’s ear, and even without hearing a word of what she was telling her, Jason could tell that they were talking about him, and within a few seconds, Rose stood up and walked up to him. She refused to let go of her smile while she walked slowly until she stopped a few inches away from him. “Thank you so much! We are very grateful!” Rose didn’t give Jason the opportunity to respond, and she embraced him tightly, shutting her eyes while she wrapped her arms around hi

Unexpected Reunion
Rose walked out of the mansion a few minutes after she was called by one of the guards at Jason’s instruction. She had a curious expression on her face, and it became a little bit intense the moment she set her eyes on Jason who had a strange smile on his face. “Rose? How are you?” Jason’s face brightened up more the moment he set his eyes on Rose, but she was a little bit confused and ignored his question. “You sent for me.” She said calmly, stopping about three meters in front of Jason who nodded instantly without letting go of his smile. “Oh yes! I have a surprise for you. I am sure you are going to love it. Come on, let’s go!” Jason gestured to Rose to follow him, but she seemed a bit reluctant to even take a step. Jason was forced to turn to look at her when he realized that she hadn't made a move to follow him. “Come on, Rose. This is really important, I am sure you will love it. This is something you have always wanted.” Jason said convincingly, and taking in a deep b

Nadia
Jason received a call while he was driving on the highway. He had to slow the car down at once to be able to take the fall after seeing who the caller was on the screen of the phone. “Harry?” He said, and then he cleared his throat while listening attentively to hear what the Butler was going to say. “Young Master? We found something, I think you need to see this.” Harry said from the other end of the line, and Jason let go of the steering wheel at once while he held onto the phone with his other hand. “Where are you?”“At the location where the shipments were taken,” Harry responded at once, and Jason nodded slowly before grabbing the gear stick. “I will be right there!” He reversed the car at once and changed direction, heading to the location where Harry called from. The road was busy, causing Jason’s impatience to grow, but he remained calm while looking for the best way to maneuver through some of the cars in front of him. “Out of the way!” He barked at one of the st

Merciless
Looking at the people kneeling before him one after the other, Jason smirked, and almost immediately, he sniggered at them while he let them deal with the anxiety that cringed them. “You seek mercy?” He asked, and even though none of them could utter a word, the nod from Isabella and her Grandmother was enough to answer his question. The rest were too ashamed to react to his question. “I see…” He scoffed, and after looking around for a few seconds, he returned his gaze to them without letting go of the smirk on his face. “What you should seek is redemption, all of you. From where I am standing, you do not deserve mercy. Maybe when you have tasted the other side of life just like I have, then you will be able to receive redemption. We are done here, I only came to claim what rightfully belongs to me, your words have no effect on me.” Jason turned to look at Ramon who waited to hear what he was going to say, eager to carry out their instruction. “Ramon?”“Yes, Young Master!” Th
